He is the champion of the survival art and has infected generations with the travel virus. While Rüdiger Nehberg searched at first the adventure for the experience, he searches now the "adventure with sense".

For the Yanomami Indians in the Amazon area he crossed three spots in terrifying vehicles the Atlantic – until the respect of her rights was conquered. For some years the activist of human rights fights against the suffering of African women. Again he chose an unconventional way: Successfully he mobilised the forces of Islam, until in the spring this year the highest Muslim legal authority condemned the inhuman custom as a sin.

Pictures between joke and shock, Stone Age and present, life and death. He shows how one increases assurance and courage of the convictions and how one can use these strengths. Rüdiger Nehberg's "Best-of" talk is extremely exciting and very entertaining!
